It's not absinthe without thujone. It's just really gross liquor.

my friend got some in germany, when he got back he took like three double shots and he was so stoked for a while. Then he puked up his stomach-lining and was vomiting blood for the rest of the night

The wormwood is what makes you trip i believe. but i bet it's not legit, the real shit is hard to get only certain countries allow it. i bet it's a pumpfake. keep me posted though if someone drops the 60$ on a little guy. if you ask me you get the same shit with a bottle of devil springs and 10 drops of liquid lsd.

On the website they state that thujone has no hallucinogenic properties...I've never had the stuff, can someone shed some light on this for me?

technically you are right, traditional absinthe contains trace amounts of thujone. but if you drank absinthe without thujone and somebody told you it had tons of thujone you would claim to hallucinate. absinthe comes from the wormwood plant. it doesnt need thujone to be called absinthe. its a total placebo effect. read this http://www.absintheonline.com/acatalog/about.html

" In conclusion, there is no evidence that absinthe ever contained the high concentrations of thujone that would have led to detrimental effects or that it has hallucinogenic or mind altering properties. "

you gotta get the right absinthe with the right wormwood in it, and you gotta get it when the wormwood is in season, and you dont trip, but colors look really wierd

if you want to trip and be drunk, take a hit of acid and drink-- tab of acid $5-$15 tops drink-- whatever you want to drink

absinthe is supose to be poured over sugar, thats why it comes with a spoon with holes in it, if you just drink it straing you're an idiot

bottle of absinthe will run what $80 - $$$

if you want to trip, there are halucenagenics, if you want to pretend you trip, drink absinthe

Absinthe in Spain, Switzerland and Amsterdam is not the original absinthe as it used to be. It's adapted in order to be legal. It won't make you trip it just makes you sick.

there's a place in amherst, mass that has absinthe with no thujone. but what is the fucking point of there's no thujone in it. wormwood is what makes it absinthe and not just a high alc content liquor.

In Britain you can buy up to 60% volume (100 proof). So the absinthe is weaker than in france where its 80%.

But seriously 60% is enough for anyone. It burns.

What is it in the US?

Lucid, the one of 2 brands is 67% alcohol, or 134 proof. I have yet to have it...65 dollars a 1/5th is pricey for a college bloke.
